This new ride takes elements from Mike’s long-standing favorite ride used with Dream Theater for many years, the 22″ HH Rock Ride Brilliant and his more recent favorite the 40th Anniversary Artisan Raw Bell Dry Ride. The 22″ HHX Max Ride combines HH and HHX hammering. It is lathed on the bow to the edge on both the top and bottom and finished with an un-lathed HHX hammered bell.  The MAX Ride is a medium/heavy weight powerhouse with a brilliant finish.
